Hey great work, congratulations!

I like the performance of Dart VM for server side. I remember it was so-so initially and then it got a huge performance boost. You could see a sharp jump on

(now it almost disappeared to the left side due to the timeline moving)



Thanks! Well, thanks to the whole team, it's quite an effort.

Server-side Dart is going to be a really great thing I think. It's by far my favorite server language already: much less verbose than Java, much more readable and maintainable than JavaScript, a similar "feel" to Python and Ruby in some ways, but with more structure and better performance. I'm excited about the future there.


It's not obvious, but you can click and drag the chart to see older results.

The drop in max latency is really notable. I assume that was caused by garbage collection improvements, but I can't find any details about what GC techniques the Dart VM currently implements.
